Bake Off overload maybe?
![]() Next year, if I do the Quiz again, I will change the scoring system so that you get points as usual for each correct question, but then additional points depending on the speed you send your answers to me. For instance, if you post on Sunday, you get an extra 7 points. If you post Tuesday, you get 5 points. Thursday, 3 points and Saturday 1 point. The 7 day deadline is fine, but as I've said before, when everyone posts the answers to me all at once, it is harder for me to collate the scores accurately. Still, never mind! The older I get, the more grumpy I become.

You would think it was a depressing line-up, but the BBC received lots of praise from viewers for the religious offerings on Christmas morning that year. I wouldn't mind predicting BBC News on air until 10.00am on Christmas morning this year. And, following The Big Sing at 11.00am, Countryfile at 11.40am.

How dies everyone feel about the cover competition being done in secret this year - PM your ideas to Clares dad and then the day after the closing date he makes all the entries public - no one will know who has come up with what idea
Obviously up to Clares dad as its his competition |

It's going to be so odd when they do the works to the Houses of Parliament and the Elizabeth Tower and Big Ben is silenced at New Year.
Quote:
I think i read somewhere that Big Ben would be back in action for major state occasions such as Remembrance Sunday and New Years Eve and any other occasions where it would be needed
Will the bells still sound? The clock mechanism will need to be stopped for several months in order to carry out essential maintenance. During this period there will be no chiming or striking. Striking and tolling will be maintained for important events. I imagine both Remembrance Sunday and New Year's Eve would be included in "important events". |

Dont forget to get your quiz answers to me by midnight tonight. It would be a shame if people missed out on the chance of winning or getting 70 points after participating since week 1. Dont forget also that there are prizes to win this week too as its a prize draw week. If I'm honest, it is quite disappointing that I have received hardly any responses so far.

Quiz Update
This week, the Quiz changed! Three potential winners, who have a perfect score to date, have not entered and therefore, if they don't enter this week, the best they can do is qualify for the 70+ Prize Draw at the end, but ONLY if they get all 30 remaining questions correct.
So, here's a call to mightybudgie, NellCarter and pizzatheaction to get your answers in by midnight. If they don't, then the whole dynamic of the Quiz changes course, because the following players: Hildaonpluto pedrok theSweeney RG101 brucie_bonus and altally will overtake them and gain a place in next week's semi-final (if they choose to enter). So, the Quiz has turned into an all to play for for those who thought it wasn't! The following players have automatically been entered into this week's prize draw where three players will win something! So, if you want to be added to that list, get your answers to me in time, especially if you have played every week. pembo2004 Footballfan87 Hildaonpluto pedrok theSweeney RG101 brucie_bonus altally smokeycat davads yorkieUK JBO marke09 Claires_dad |
